I have an FJR (06). I really like the bike, but I live on some bad dirt roads, the mud keeps me from getting out of the dirt to the pavement a lot...and the FJR has been abused by it.
I have to finance and my options are limited. Credit is OK....but also have purchased 2 new cars and refinanced the truck over the last 10 months....so getting a little pushback. Currently I can get a '12 Tenere....or a 15 R1200GSA. The Tenere is half the price.
My concerns...reading that the bike is kind of boring on the road. I dont get to ride that much....but when I do....its 200 -500 miles. I love the quickness of the FJR and how it corners. How much of that do I loose? The GSA seems to be reviewed as more exciting and quicker...but twice the price worth? Lol
Asked on a BMW group also....they claim the GSA is actually reasonable to own and maintain if you do the maintenance yourself....which I always have.
